About Me
My name is Maggie Freed, and I am an ordained non-denominational Christian minister, specializing in performing a diverse range of ceremonies including religious, non-religious, interfaith, and same-sex weddings since 2019.
I take great pleasure in collaborating closely with couples to create custom-made wedding ceremonies or vow renewals that leave a lasting impression on you, your families, and your guests, resulting in a cherished and unforgettable memory.
Services
At your first, no-obligation meeting, I will meet with you to break the ice, discuss your ideas and choices for your ceremony. I offer a selection of vows, rituals, cultural ceremonies, family traditions, etc. such that we can custom design the perfect wedding ceremony; one which will reflect your values, preferences and tastes while honoring your family and any cultural traditions. Although custom designed, wedding ceremonies typically run less than 30 minutes.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, I will complete all necessary legal documents and also provide a Marriage Certificate to the couple.

"If you’re looking for someone to perform your wedding look no more. Maggie performed our wedding in May 2021 at Estero Island Florida. It was during the middle of the COVID crisis when so many weddings had been put on hold. My husband, Nikos, and I were tired of waiting and decided to take a little less traditional approach shifting our originally planned large wedding to a semi virtual beach wedding with over a hundred online guests attending from 8 different countries around the world. We rented a small beach front home and other than my 3 kids, Maggie, Penni and the photographer were the only people on site with us. Maggie met with Nikos and I separately as she designed and personalized the ceremony to make it more personalized. As someone who really likes being in control, this was a struggle for me at first but knowing Maggie, I knew I could trust her and so I went with it…. and I’m so glad I did. Maggie’s attention to every small detail was evident in every moment of our ceremony. Her ideas to include our virtual guests, who included our parents, was such a touching and personal experience for everyone. During the ceremony, she worked in little personal details and nuances that made really made the wedding more special than we ever could have imagined. Not only was our wedding emotional and filled with love, we had an absolute blast! The comments from our families and guests attending from abroad were exactly what we felt being in person. Everyone felt as if they were actually there… part of the wedding and participating in our big day. We received many comments from our guests asking who she was and how we found her. Maggie will forever be part of my family…. I we love her dearly. Many Many Thanks Maggie."

We were looking for an intimate, family-centered ceremony with a few close friends, but we weren't sure how to start. Maggie helped us define and realize our vision. She spent time with us upfront, took the time to get to know us and our hopes for the day, asked the right questions and gave suggestions when we needed them. We were so pleased with the thoughtfulness and experience Maggie brought. Thank you, Maggie, for your help planning a ceremony perfectly tailored to us!

We were thrilled to have Maggie Freed as the officiant for our 2021 wedding at our family cottages on Lake Michigan. From planning to implementation and follow-up, Maggie was professional, thorough and most importantly always kept our vision in mind. She certainly played an integral part in making our vision come to life! .After meeting to discuss our goals for our nuptials, Maggie helped us create a run-of-show for the ceremony and designed the nuptials to perfectly showcase our written vows. We definitely recommend working with Maggie Freed if you are looking for an officiant that is flexible, has a sense of humor and will always keep your vision in mind!
